    Extract information from email

    Hi there.

    This may be bit of a shot in the dark, but is it at all possible to extract text and attachments from an email and then process this information so that it is stored in a database table, please?

    Sounds like a big ask but if anybody has had to tackle a similar situation then it will be really apprecaited on how to approach this problem.

    Thank you.

    Of course it is possible. That's what an email program such as Outlook is/does. It extracts all the vital info from an email and processes it according to it design, and stores it all in a database. Outlook's database is its .pst file. Other programs do it differently with .mbox files for each user folder.
